[QUOTE="regolith, post: 653820, member: 9267"] Pretty much everyone I know out here runs their calves in batches about that size. I'll chuck up a picture given a few minutes... those trailed feeders are expensive and I'm not up to the home-made variety. I use the same large group feeders that I feed them with when they're in the sheds, hung on the back of the tractor. With two 12-teat feeders and a ten, I can get 34 calves in a group - in theory I could back the tractor off and use a fourth side if I wanted to. Next year I get to rear 65 calves only (that's what my contract allows), so I'll probably stick with this system. [/QUOTE]
